EP561. The holiday season seems like a great time to talk about mom burnout! So, please enjoy this throwback to one of my favourite episodes! One of our most popular guests, Dr. Ashurina Ream, is back in The Mom Room to discuss burnout. The conversation naturally leads to this new age of intensive parenting and how that increases the likelihood of burnout. Dr. Ream offers small steps you can take to break the intensive cycle, how to bring it up to your partner, and the pendulum swing from disengaged parenting to millennials trying to heal. Be sure to follow Dr. Ashurina Ream @psychedmommy, and check out Episode 261 for her previous appearance!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Year of the Snake: What I've Shed in 2025
EP560. A solo episode that feels like a big exhale.I’m talking about the shift from the Year of the Snake (2025) in to the Year of the Horse (2026), and why it feels wildly accurate in my own life. From starting Vyvanse and finally feeling clarity in my brain, to ending friendships that no longer fit, leaving my management, and yes… taking out my extensions, this year has been full of big, necessary changes.If you’re in a season of shedding, resetting, or questioning everything, this one’s for you, and for anyone who’s looking ahead to 2026 hoping for a little more calm and a lot more clarity.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Yep. Renee explains how she was dragged... lovingly but reluctantly... into elf life, and what that means for the holiday season.Just another week in The Mom Room!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
